My father, Len Holder, was always a great inspiration to me. Having been in the Merchant Navy and then a lecturer at Liverpool Polytechnic for many years, he developed a fantastic sense of humour -and wrote two books with anecdotes from all parts of his life. All the proceeds from the books have been donated to maritime and medical charities and we continue to sell these books in his memory..

Alison of The Proof Fairy helped me get started with my blog: I took a remote course on blogging which got me started on the right foot. She supports WordPress sites, proofreading, blogging and designing web sites.

The Sage Forum is an excellent place to network with other Sage experts or ask advice and questions connected with the software.

My favourite place to eat when I am out for my many walks is Salcey Forest Cafe. Katherine always makes us welcome and after the extension built at the end of 2012 they have a much bigger kitchen and loads of room to sit and enjoy the food.
